BOY racers, speeding motorists and anti-social behaviour are set to be tackled in suburbs across Bromsgrove - after residents voiced their crime fears.

Scores of people living in the town have attended a host of public meetings with police officers and community workers in order to get their concerns off their chests.

Residents in Whitford said their top concern was speeding motorists along Worcester Road in Rockhill, which will now be the focus of a crackdown by officers in the area over the coming months.

Anti-social behaviour in Millfields, Shrubbery Road, Highfields and Breakback Road was a second priority while the third was problems for motorists turning right onto Worcester Road from Shrubbery Road and traffic at the crossroads at Kidderminster Road, Perryfields and Whitford.

Residents in Stoke Heath and Stoke Prior also said speeding was a big problem in the area, specifically along Shaw Lane, Hanbury Road, Wheatridge Road, Stoke Pound Lane and Fish House Lane.

Anti-social behaviour in Shaw Lane and Ryefields Lane was identified as a second priority, while boy racers speeding at the rear of Morrisons and Bunstford Gate was the third priority chosen to be tackled over the next three months.

More meetings are scheduled for residents in Bromsgrove, giving them a chance to discuss ways of fighting crime with police.

The next Whitford meeting is scheduled for 7pm on Thursday, June 22 at Millfields First School in Swift Close, while a meeting for Stoke Heath and Stoke Pound will take place at 7pm on Monday, June 26 at Stoke Prior Village Hall.
